Description
The Variation Identification and Submission course provides training in this key risk area of construction contract management.
Variations are an important part of any building project. Project variations generally fall into two categories The first can be design/construction philosophy changes that affect existing contract or changes requested by the client. The second are project oversights or internal changes that do not involve a change in design/construction philosophy or affect existing contracts. It is vital that both these aspects be be properly controlled to ensure that project run to schedule and on budget. This course provides an effective framework for the effective, consistent and efficient identification and evaluation system of variations against contract - especially time and cost related variance throughout the construction industry. This course will help you speed up the identification and submission process of variations.
